MJ Inspired Cut Crease

You guys know I'm a sucker for a mod 60's look so naturally I had to put my own spin on this Marc Jacobs Beauty promo image.

Pro Tip

Lightly filling in your brows with a pencil or powder will keep a dramatic makeup like this looking grounded and polished. Without the brow grooming the makeup is noticeably incomplete and can start to look messy.

Cute Doll Halloween Makeup

Say hello to another Halloween look inspired by a cute dolly!

1 Start by applying foundation all over, concealer in areas of concern, and setting with a translucent powder.
2 Apply a light blue shadow all over the lid and into the crease. Make sure to bring the colour up high enough to be seen when the eye is open. Bring this blue shadow tight against the outer corners of the lower lash lines.
3 Densely press a blue glitter all over the lid from the lash line to the crease. Soften the edge by blending through the crease with whatever blue shadow is left on our brush.
4 Apply a white eyeliner to the inner corners of the eye and press an iridescent duo chrome white/blue shadow on top.
5 Line the top lash line with a black liquid liner and apply a light coat of mascara.
6 Rim the inside of the eye with a light, flesh toned pencil for a wide eyed appearance.
7 Apply long wispy lashes to the upper lash line and shorter wispy half lashes to the outer corners of the lower lash line.
8 Create a 3D blush effect by applying a hot pink shadow in a round shape to the apples of the cheek and then a light frosty pink shadow around the edges. This will give a natural and soft gradation.
9 Use a brown eyeliner pencil to dot freckles of varying sizes onto the cheeks.
10 Finish with a bubble gum pink lip colour!

Snowflakes!

I wore this fun look to my 'Winter Wonderland' themed holiday meeting at work! By the time I took these pictures I'd already been running around for 7 hours so it's sadly a bit faded. The inner corner highlight was much stronger and the entire look was much more glittery than it photographed!

AAANnnyyway! Sorry I've been MIA, the holiday season is busy busy busy! Hope you guys enjoy this look!

  

1 Pat an eyeshadow primer all over the lid.
2 Peel off the eyeshadow sticker and line it up with your lash line. Hold the far sides down with your thumb and index finger and use your other hand to rub and smooth the back of the sticker to transfer the design.
3 When removed, you will see the design and feel that the shadow feels very sticky and creamy. Try to keep your eye as closed as possible so that you don't smear the snowflake design! Use a stiff brush or you finger to soften the edges.
4 Apply a translucent powder on top of the snow flake to set it into place. Press an iridescent blue shadow all over the lid starting 2/3's of the way in. Wrap it around the lower lash line as well. Make sure you use a small brush around the intricate design of the snowflakes!
5 Press a light blue iridescent shadow on the first third of the lid and a frosty duo chrome white/green on the inner corners of the eyes. Use this duo chrome eyeshadow to soften the edges all around your blue eyeshadow (top and bottom) and to highlight the brow to make the whole look glow! I brought this colour down onto my cheekbones as well to tie the whole look together!
6 Pat a fine, light blue glitter all over the lid.
7 Define the outer corner of the upper lash line with a thin line of black liquid or gel liner and apply lots of mascara to the upper lashes!
